Hutch Lyr Req: Bold Sir John (Two Ronnies sketch) (105* d) Bold Sir John - Two Ronnies sketch 02 Jun 97


Now here's an obscure one. Think of it as a challange.

I remember about 20 years ago a two Ronnies sketch whereby a mock morris dance was performed (for which I forgive messers Barker and Corbet). This was followed by a skit folk song, which, not actually taking the p--s of folk tradition (for once) I really found ammusing. It was about this knight called Bopld Sir John, and went something like this:

Oh, Bold Sir John he da da da, de-de da da da da dah- (etc... yes, I know, not much help, but I can remember the tune vividly.... and so to the chorus)

Poor cow, poor cow, poor cow, poor cow, POUR COWSLIPS DEW INTO MY CUP,

The bum, (etc), THE BUMBLE BEES AT PLAY.

OK, so a bit childish, but a pretty good tune!!

TO THE POINT - anyone know the rest of the words. Please!!
